What information does this dataset include?The dataset contains over 80 indicators organized into seven categories: General logistics indicators, Road transport, Rail transport, Air freight, Waterborne transport, Logistics activity metrics, Energy and emissions data. Each group includes statistics on infrastructure, fleet activity, freight movement, and other relevant operational variables. Which countries are covered in the Yearbook?The dataset includes 26 IDB borrowing member countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and others across the Caribbean. Coverage varies by data availability and national reporting systems. How is the data collected and standardized?The IDB compiles the Yearbook using public data sources from national statistical agencies, ministries of transport, and multilateral organizations. The data undergoes standardization for comparability across countries and years. What does the data cover for the time period?The dataset spans 2007 to 2022, depending on the mode of transport and the country. Most indicators are updated annually as new data becomes available. How can users interact with the data?Users can explore the Yearbook through an interactive spreadsheet that allows them to filter indicators and countries of interest, compare logistics and freight statistics across time, and generate dynamic graphs and tables for analysis. How can this data be used for policy and research?The dataset supports evidence-based policymaking by helping users analyze freight transport efficiency and logistics bottlenecks, evaluate infrastructure investment priorities, track emissions and sustainability trends in freight movement, and benchmark regional logistics performance. Where can I find related analysis and reports?Users can explore in-depth reports and analyses at the IDB Logistics Observatory (https://logistics.iadb.org/), which provides complementary datasets and policy insights on freight logistics in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Who maintains and updates the Yearbook?The dataset is maintained by the IDB’s Transport Division in coordination with national transport and statistics authorities. Updates are published periodically to reflect the most recent available data.

How do air freight vs ocean freight market share and volume statistics compare?The dataset includes indicators on air and water transport volumes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Maritime freight dominates regional trade flows, while air freight plays a smaller but strategic role. |
